TS16-ER16UN WMP22G – Indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold for stainless steel (Walter Tools)

The TS16-ER16UN WMP22G is an indexable insert designed for turning operations in stainless steel, combining a coated‑carbide grade with a dedicated chipbreaker for medium to robust cutting conditions.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating technology
• Optimised for stainless steel (M)
• ER16UN chipbreaker for secure chip control
• High edge stability for robust turning

Consistent cutting performance and extended tool life

The WMP22G grade, part of the Tiger‑tec Gold series, is a coated carbide developed for demanding machining of stainless steel. Its microstructure and coating promote stable chip formation, which reduces the risk of built‑up edge and minimises unexpected tool changes. For production contexts where cycle times and uptime matter, this behaviour translates into fewer interruptions and more consistent component quality. The result is predictable running behaviour and a longer effective tool life compared with uncoated grades in similar applications.

Predictable chip control and surface quality

The chipbreaker ER16UN is tailored to the cutting characteristics of the M group, shaping chips to avoid tangling and heat concentration. Controlled evacuation of chips supports a consistent cutting zone temperature and helps achieve improved surface finishes with reduced reliance on secondary operations. In short runs and longer production batches alike, the combination of the breaker geometry and the WMP22G coating reduces rework and supports stable process windows.

Practical integration into machining processes

This indexable insert is suitable for a wide range of turning tasks on stainless steel where medium to robust conditions apply. The insert’s behaviour allows for straightforward parameter selection: moderate feed rates with stable cutting speeds deliver the best compromise between tool life and productivity. In mixed‑shop environments, the grade’s versatility supports different stainless alloys without frequent grade changes, simplifying tool management. For specific cutting parameters or to confirm compatibility with a particular machine or holder, technical consultants at Metav Werkzeuge can advise on optimisation and selection.

FAQ

Which materials is the TS16-ER16UN WMP22G intended for?
This insert is specified for the ISO M group and is optimised for machining stainless steel under medium to robust conditions.

What benefits does the Tiger‑tec Gold technology provide?
Tiger‑tec Gold coating on the WMP22G grade enhances wear resistance and supports stable chip formation, improving tool life and surface consistency during turning operations.

How does the ER16UN chipbreaker affect machining?
The ER16UN geometry guides chip formation to safer shapes for evacuation, reducing heat concentration and promoting consistent surface finish when using the TS16-ER16UN WMP22G insert.

Is the WMP22G grade suitable for high cutting speeds?
WMP22G is intended to deliver balanced performance in typical turning speeds for stainless steel; specific speed and feed should be selected according to the alloy and setup to maintain edge stability.

Can the insert be used across different stainless alloys without frequent grade changes?
Yes, the combination of the WMP22G grade and ER16UN chip control provides versatility across many stainless alloys, reducing the need for frequent tool‑grade swaps.
